Here's another view of the pool under the waterfall shown in this picture. This time one of the pool's many brook trout is visible, but well-camouflaged. Can you find it?

Can you spot the brook trout in this picture? This is a good example of how they seek cover when a danger (my camera) approaches.

This is my favorite picture of this school of brookies. Notice there are a few other fish mixed in, minnow family mostly. Near the bottom right there's a really big brookie. These trout were densely schooled up near a major spring source during the dead of winter.

This is my favorite underwater picture so far. It shows a bunch of Simuliidae (black fly) larvae clinging to a rock and swinging in the fast current. There are also at least four visible mayfly nymphs, probably in the family Baetidae.
In this picture: Mayfly Family Baetidae (Blue-Winged Olives) and True Fly Family Simuliidae (Black Flies).

Well, this is one way to make 'em pose... keep them on the line!
This one settled next to the camera pretty nicely as soon as I let off the tension.

This Ephemerella subvaria (Hendrickson) nymph picture is one of my favorites.

I love this "above & below" landscape from a popular Catskill trout stream. The picture is not doctored to show both perspectives. Instead, my Pentax Optio WPi digital camera is able to take pictures with the tiny lens half-in, half-out of the water.

Hundreds of cased caddisfly larvae live on this log in a small brook trout stream.

There's a large Ephemerella subvaria nymph in the top left.
